Opening Kuickshow in a given directory

The part of Yugo's message you snipped showed that it was intended to be sarcastic. Yugo: Sarcasm doesn't work well in text-only media, since the whole "sarcastic tone of voice" doesn't translate into ASCII. (I out, using the Menu Editor (or the Properties dialog for KDE .desktop files--both can be used to achieve similar results).

The important part (I think) was that the command I wrote above is easily reproduced and tried on any Linux system with KDE. And if it did the thing the OP wanted, the OP had 5 or 6 ways to invoke that command.

It's much more convenient to click a "VNC:Laptop" icon than it is to type in "krdc -f -m -phome-me-.vnc-pbuttwd-laptop 192.168.1.4". I'd create a shell function that executed that command line if I wanted to launch that from a shell more than once or twice. People typically do whatever's most convenient and-or what they're used to. This means windows, menus, and icons will persist for a while in GUIs thanks to the installed base.
